Jurgen Klopp says he is hurt by the way Liverpool’s reputation has been “trashed” in the wake of the Super League combination.
The Reds were one of the 12 founding clubs of the Breakaway League that were announced on Sunday. Plans were swiftly broken, however, as most clubs pulled out of the competition after resentment from football associations, fans and pundits.
Liverpool were heavily criticized by those, but Klopp fears his reputation will be regarded as unreliable.
What did Klopp say?
“It’s really difficult for me, because I’ve got some feedback about it that’s hard to take. And by that I don’t mean people who were against it or were protesting. It’s a great for football supporters The victory was – I want to make it clear from the beginning. I agreed with their opposition. I made it clear to my bosses Program note Ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Newcastle.
“The part I have struggled with is seeing this club, a place I love and now I am proud to call my house. And this has been done in a way that shows that no redemption is possible. That I can not take.
“It was right to separate the concept and criticize it, as well as the people who came up with it and how it was presented. I think all legitimate. Anger and disappointment were justified.
“But at times the difference between the ‘club’ and this decision (and yes, the people responsible for it) were quickly blurred into one. To my mind, this is an insult to supporters. And the player.
“The work of supporters has earned him distinction. Likewise to the players. And they are clubs. They always have been and always will be.
He said, “I am not free from guilt during this time to be free from emotion. Especially after the Leeds United game. When I came to know that the flag was being lifted from the protest in protest, it hurt me and I reacted in a way expressing my wish.
“Of all the things we have achieved in Liverpool, I would argue that the relationship between this team and our fans is arguably the most important because without it all the success we have achieved is not possible.
“So it was very difficult for me to see a division. I now better understand the reasons why groups of supporters felt it necessary and I respect them but I hope that we will never be in such a situation again. They are always the solution and never the problem. “
